Glee star Chris Colfer told Jimmy Fallon about his alien encounter on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. When Colfer was a kid, he became very sick with bronchitis and was taking what called “sizzurp levels of cough syrup.” Lying in bed, Colfer said, he “woke up in the middle of the night and there was a little alien standing at the foot of my bed.” Although Colfer started the story with the caveat, “it might have been a hallucination,” he went on to say, “I’m surprised I didn’t, like, scream — but he was just so adorable. He was just so cute. And he was just sitting there like, ‘Feel better.'”

Colfer said that he and the alien spoke to each other telepathically. If you’re thinking that talking to aliens telepathically might be affecting Colfer’s love life, think again. Colfer specifically told the audience, “No, I’m not single.”
